Swearing at school staff members now made possible...?

http://www.offthemarkcartoons.com/cartoons/2005-06-21.gifHi guys, 

 

after talking to you about the possible trip to NYC this year, we studied a new document dealing with school. But it was a rather strange type of document, wasn't it? You can listen to it again below:

 

 

Here is what we said about it:

 

The strange voice mail/answering machine:

The document is a recording from a school where the staff have become crazy. The message invites parents to lie about why their child is absent, make excuses about the homework, complain about the
teachers, blame administration for school lunches, reproach them with poor bus transportation, or to swear at staff members.

 

How to complain in English:
(to) complain about ... + V-ing
(to) blame ... for ...
(to) reproach ... with ...
(to) accuse ... of ...

Ex: Students always complain about eating no vegetables at the cafeteria.

 

 

HW: vous devez lire les deux textes donnés en fin d'heure (sur Barbie et McDonald's) et identifier les reproches qui sont faits à chaque entreprise. Vous pouvez surligner directement dans le texte mais j'attends de vous que vous ayez compris et que vous puissiez parler de ces reproches dans vos propres mots. N'oubliez pas que vous devez consacrer deux heures de temps scolaire en plus à l'étude de cette matière (LVA) étant donné que l'horaire global de 3 heures n'a toujours pas pu être inclus à votre emploi du temps. Faites le nécessaire pour progresser en anglais! C'est impératif!
